OracleXE 10 g not installing in silent mode

Question

I've been looking in the forum for a solution to my problem but I can't find one. I'm a complete novice when it comes to databases
I am installing this in windows xp spe , 2 drives 6GB+ free space and 3GB ram
No applications are running on this server
When trying to install Oracle 10g express edition by using the command c:\oraclexe.exe /s /f1"c:\test\oracle_install.iss". during the 'copying files' part of the installation the installation just dies/exits.
the user account I'm using is local administator.
I've stopped all antivirus services.
The only error in event viewer show the following error
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( IDriverT ) cannot be found.

Hi ,
If you are facing issue during silent mode install , you can do installation in below manner also ,
Make a tar ball of installation directory from some other server.
e.g. If you have installed OMA in server A in /agent/OMA directory then make a tar ball OMS.tar.
scp the tar file on server B and then extract it.
After extraction , you only need to make changes in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties file.
Just replace server A with Server B in this file and do the agent discovery again using
You can use <AGENT_HOME>/bin/agentca -d
to rediscover the targets for this agent
